Looks up all hostnames for address.
Returns true if the set is a superset of the given set.
Returns true if the set and the given set have at least one element in common.
e.g.:
require 'set' Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[4, 5] # => false Set[1, 2, 3].intersect? Set[3, 4] # => true
Closes the file. If unlink_now is true, then the file will be unlinked (deleted) after closing. Of course, you can choose to later call unlink if you do not unlink it now.
If you don’t explicitly unlink the temporary file, the removal will be delayed until the object is finalized.
Closes and unlinks (deletes) the file. Has the same effect as called close(true).
Terminates thr and schedules another thread to be run.
If this thread is already marked to be killed, exit returns the Thread.
If this is the main thread, or the last thread, exits the process.
Returns the parameter information of this proc.
prc = lambda{|x, y=42, *other|} prc.parameters #=> [[:req, :x], [:opt, :y], [:rest, :other]]
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns the bound receiver of the method object.
Returns the class or module that defines the method.
Returns the parameter information of this method.
def foo(bar); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar]] def foo(bar, baz, bat, &blk); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:req, :baz], [:req, :bat], [:block, :blk]] def foo(bar, *args); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:rest, :args]] def foo(bar, baz, *args, &blk); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:req, :baz], [:rest, :args], [:block, :blk]]
Returns a clone of this method.
class A def foo return "bar" end end m = A.new.method(:foo) m.call # => "bar" n = m.clone.call # => "bar"
Returns the class or module that defines the method.
Returns the parameter information of this method.
def foo(bar); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar]] def foo(bar, baz, bat, &blk); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:req, :baz], [:req, :bat], [:block, :blk]] def foo(bar, *args); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:rest, :args]] def foo(bar, baz, *args, &blk); end method(:foo).parameters #=> [[:req, :bar], [:req, :baz], [:rest, :args], [:block, :blk]]
Prevents threads from being added to or removed from the receiving ThreadGroup.
New threads can still be started in an enclosed ThreadGroup.
ThreadGroup::Default.enclose #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x4029d914> thr = Thread::new { Thread.stop } #=> #<Thread:0x402a7210 sleep> tg = ThreadGroup::new #=> #<ThreadGroup:0x402752d4> tg.add thr #=> ThreadError: can't move from the enclosed thread group
Returns true if the thgrp is enclosed. See also ThreadGroup#enclose.
Returns (and assigns to $_) the next line from the list of files in ARGV (or $*), or from standard input if no files are present on the command line. Returns nil at end of file. The optional argument specifies the record separator. The separator is included with the contents of each record. A separator of nil reads the entire contents, and a zero-length separator reads the input one paragraph at a time, where paragraphs are divided by two consecutive newlines. If the first argument is an integer, or optional second argument is given, the returning string would not be longer than the given value in bytes. If multiple filenames are present in ARGV, gets(nil) will read the contents one file at a time.
ARGV << "testfile" print while gets
produces:
This is line one This is line two This is line three And so on...
The style of programming using $_ as an implicit parameter is gradually losing favor in the Ruby community.
Use Kernel#gem to activate a specific version of gem_name.
requirements is a list of version requirements that the specified gem must match, most commonly “= example.version.number”. See Gem::Requirement for how to specify a version requirement.
If you will be activating the latest version of a gem, there is no need to call Kernel#gem, Kernel#require will do the right thing for you.
Kernel#gem returns true if the gem was activated, otherwise false. If the gem could not be found, didn’t match the version requirements, or a different version was already activated, an exception will be raised.
Kernel#gem should be called before any require statements (otherwise RubyGems may load a conflicting library version).
Kernel#gem only loads prerelease versions when prerelease requirements are given:
gem 'rake', '>= 1.1.a', '< 2'
In older RubyGems versions, the environment variable GEM_SKIP could be used to skip activation of specified gems, for example to test out changes that haven’t been installed yet. Now RubyGems defers to -I and the RUBYLIB environment variable to skip activation of a gem.
Example:
GEM_SKIP=libA:libB ruby -I../libA -I../libB ./mycode.rb
Loads and executes the Ruby program in the file filename. If the filename does not resolve to an absolute path, the file is searched for in the library directories listed in $:. If the optional wrap parameter is true, the loaded script will be executed under an anonymous module, protecting the calling program’s global namespace. In no circumstance will any local variables in the loaded file be propagated to the loading environment.
Registers filename to be loaded (using Kernel::require) the first time that module (which may be a String or a symbol) is accessed.
autoload(:MyModule, "/usr/local/lib/modules/my_module.rb")
Returns filename to be loaded if name is registered as autoload.
autoload(:B, "b") autoload?(:B) #=> "b"
Returns arg converted to a float. Numeric types are converted directly, and with exception to string and nil the rest are converted using arg.to_f. Converting a string with invalid characters will result in a ArgumentError. Converting nil generates a TypeError.
Float(1) #=> 1.0 Float("123.456") #=> 123.456 Float("123.0_badstring") #=> ArgumentError: invalid value for Float(): "123.0_badstring" Float(nil) #=> TypeError: can't convert nil into Float
